Judge with SG1 is WTB's rowdiest and toughest rear-focused tire. Centerline knobs alternate between long and wide to provide the hard braking traction and efficiency required of a rear tire. Burly outer knobs provide support and dig in to keep you glued threw off-camber corners. Judge features a flatter tire profile than most other tires which makes it easier to reach the outer knobs when cornering. The Judge keeps everything in order whether dry and loose or wet and sloppy. SG1 puncture protection runs under the tread cap and has extended bead protection.
Massive knobs in every area of the tread prove that the Judge prioritizes traction above all else. Long thick knobs till through rocky terrain without folding under heavy cornering forces. Each knob features full-length siping to essentially double the amount of knob edges contacting the trail.
The side-to-side tread arc of the Judge is "flatter" than most tires which results in the side knobs engaging sooner while cornering compared to a tire with a rounder profile. This allows the side knobs to dig into the terrain quicker and deeper which improves cornering traction on loose off-camber trails.
Judge features wide blocky knobs that maximize braking traction and improve the longevity of the tire. The side knobs overhang the sidewall of the tire to protect it from slashes while you're steering with the rear. WTB suggests pairing the Judge with a Verdict 2.5 or Vigilante 2.5 on the front.
TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system which nearly eliminates flats and allows lower
